Stunning Ford Fiesta St wins TopGear Magazine Car of the Year

Posted on 03 Jan 2014

The multi-awarding Ford Fiesta ST has bagged yet another award, but this time it’s the big one – TopGear Magazine Car of the Year 2013. Beating all the competition, including the £866,000 McLaren P1, the Fiesta ST was named the unanimous winner.

Described as a “car that invigorates, excites and rekindles some of the love you thought you’d lost”, and it added “A car that puts a smile on your face each and every day”. Producing an impressive 179bhp and a top speed of 137mph, the Ford Fiesta ST offers superb handling, the ability to pull into corners at speed, whilst being able to do the daily tasks that we all do. All for a hot hatch that starts at only £16,995 and includes performance tuned suspension, brakes and steering. As well as Recaro Sports Seats, Ford MyKey and Ford SYNC.

Since going on sale in March, the Fiesta ST has achieved double the anticipated orders, with 3,000 placed in the first month alone. This has led to production increasing by 15% to meet demand from Europe wide buyers.
